A time when the medium has been the message is definitely through music. Usually, the first time i hear a song i don't listen to the words as much i'm just focused on how cool the beats or different musical instruments sound together. Also, with movies sometimes a dramatic affect is to have no words but just have creepy intense music (scary movies). Recently i watched the special features of The Hunger Games DVD and i found out that they focused a lot on the music in their movie. In fact their are many instances where there is just music playing and no dialouge, music is such a powerful medium because it can be understood everywhere across the spectrum. Happy music, sad music, scary music, it's easy to understand.

Well my cell phone is definitely an extension of my body. Since i live on campus i don't see my family or friends at home quite as much so a quick phone call or text is definitely the easiest thing. Also, twitter is definitely my addiction i love to connect with friends and see what they are up to. Skype is also cool because i can actually see faces! I just recently skyped with my parents and a friend the only thing about skype is sometimes the video is slow or messes up which is annoying.

I interpret the "Global Village" to mean any part of the Internet that you partake in. For me, that is so many things, i am addicted. I love Pinteresting that is my most recent website i have joined, it is so fun to look at! I also have Facebook, Twitter, and i E-mail but not often.

I believe i am a technology deteminist. I think that technology has changed things so much in this society, i mean even for me it is an addiction for teenagers and a distraction. It is also a great resource too!
